It is a simple A-line baby sweater. All in stockinette. On size *8* needles. I am in love.

I cast on for this last Monday. I finished it on Saturday. And blocked it on Sunday. Truly one of the most rewarding little sweaters I have ever made. I also think that A-line cut is so cute. So cute that I wish it came in adult sizes. I'll just have to see what I can do about that.The skinny:

Oh, oh, oh, love that! I have noticed the a-line making a come back and it always reminds me of pictures of my older sister as a toddler. She had some of the cutest sweaters that shape. Cannot wait to see the next one. =-)

The sweater is perfect. Even though you said it was simple, it's the color choices and the bands that really set it off. Sometimes simple and classic is way better than tons of color and crazy patterns. Nice job!

and flintknits on ravelry has modified the Eliz. Zimmerman feb baby sweater for adults, and it appears to be quite similar to the debbie bliss.here's the link to her website, where the free pdf is: http://www.flintknits.com/blog/?p=151

i have modified it to use a seed stitch border and stockinette for the yoke, and it is an easily modified pattern.

Oh it is absolutely gorgeous. I just know what to knit for a friend's baby girl now. I will have to find the book amongst my knitting patterns first though. I love the colors you chose too and I am sure a purple one will look just as beautiful too.
